A&E
By Muelas+Ward / WORLD PREMIERE
Yes, love hurts!

And it always did, but today ghosting, anxiety, projection, self-validation and the cowardice of being apparently safe behind a screen just increase that pain.

A&E had it’s digital opening in 2020 at the Tète-á-Tête Opera Festival with a social distance staging that perfectly stressed the character’s feelings of loneliness and isolation.

When Adam meets Eve at the A&E ward of Homerton Hospital it’s love at first radiography but a sneaky boy will tempt Adam to download a dating app, and that will change everything…

This is the world premiere of the debut opera of the iconoclastic creative tandem Muelas+Ward. A librettist and a composer, a director and a producer who want to make opera for people who are normally scared of opera.
